In placental mammals, natural killer (NK) cells are a population of lymphocytes that make
unique contributions to immune defence and reproduction, functions essential for survival of …

Integrated full electric propulsion systems are being introduced across both civil and military
marine sectors. Standard power system analysis packages cover electrical and …

Killer‐cell immunoglobulin‐like receptors ( KIR s) are components of two fundamental
biological systems essential for human health and survival. First, they contribute to host immune …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have laid the foundation for investigations into the
biology of complex traits, drug development and clinical guidelines. However, the majority …

Whole genome comparisons identified introgression from archaic to modern humans. Our
analysis of highly polymorphic human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I, vital immune system …

INTRODUCTION The consensus view on the peopling of the Americas is that ancestors of
modern Native Americans entered the Americas from Siberia via the Bering Land Bridge and …

Natural killer (NK) cells play critical roles in immune defense and reproduction, yet remain
the most poorly understood major lymphocyte population. Because their activation is …

Africa is inferred to be the continent of origin for all modern human populations, but the details
of human prehistory and evolution in Africa remain largely obscure owing to the complex …

Interactions between HLA-C ligands and inhibitory killer cell Ig-like receptors (KIR) control
the development and response of human NK cells. This regulatory mechanism is usually …

The Caribbean basin is home to some of the most complex interactions in recent history
among previously diverged human populations. Here, we investigate the population genetic …
